With 14,000 miles on kumo tires, the left front tire blew apart complete around the rim on the inside. A 2 inch piece was left on the rim and the remainder was completely cut through. The tire vendor says there is nothing they ca do, the dealer says that it up to the tire vendor. These are original equipment with little usage.

Purchased brand new oct 2006 in this order... I know a few things are missing. Clutch master cylinder failure - couldn't get the car back in gear. Pulls to the right all the time even though it is in "perfect alignment" according to dealer. Terribly uneven tire wear even with 3k mile tire rotations. 2 inside sidewall blow outs. 1 tread separation blowout 2 idler pulley failures. Windshield wiper motor failure. Windshield washer pump failure. Sunroof motor and switch failure. Bent rim. Air conditioning wire short which resulted in AC clutch failure just after 60,000 (of course) AC clutch failure results in constant bearing squealing. Aluminum clutch pedal cover fell off and they wouldn't replace it. Rear hatch release works about half the time. I know there's more, I just can't recall all of it right off.

Was driving east on I-70 car started shaking and heard a low roar. Thought it was the road. I got off exit 124 I believe and checked tires. All looked normal.. Checked tired pressures all was 32 or 34 psi. I though maybe it was the road so I continued to exit 126east on I 70 got off exit because I heard the same noise. I then drove the car around the truckstop and listened to the tires.. Rear passenger was making a horrible noise so I decided to turn back around and come back home even though the tires looked fine. I pulled out of the truck stop and over the bridge to go west on I-70 heading about 20mph and heard a loud pop. The tire blew out.. Continued over the bridge to the pilot truck stop and noticed there was still air in the tire.. I proceeded to take the tire off and found that the inside of the tire split at the seam. These tires are dangerous!!! The entire side blew out.. But there is still air in them.. Firestone should not be allowed to make tires anymore.. If I would have been going 65mph I would probably be dead. Firestone 215/45r17 potenza.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 hyundai tiburon. While driving approximately 25 MPH on normal road conditions, the contact proceeded onto a ramp. Suddenly, the passenger side air bag deployed without an impact. The inadvertent air bag deployment caused the driver to sway onto the curb. Immediately, the rear passenger side tire blew out. There were no warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. The driver replaced the tire with a spare and the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle has not been repaired. The failure and current mileages were 27,337. Updated 04/16/09.

Driving west bound on interstate 10 fwy approximate time 2:30a.m. I had a tire blowout. The blowout in turn made me lose control of the vehicle and I went into a spin causing me to crash into a post on the side of the fwy. Upon crashing into the post my head hit the steering wheel at which time the airbag did not deploy. I have never had an accident in this car before, my assumption was that the airbag functioned. The airbag feature in my car proved to be totally non-functional.

My seatbelts get twisted or won't extract or retract 99 out of 100 times. I have had my headlights burnout numerous times and keep having to replace them. They need to be replaced every 2-3 months and it is at my expense as the dealer states it isn't covered under my warranty. One usually blows and then a week later the other side follows, this only happens with my low beams. I will turn my AC on and it will either run hot or if it runs cold at all it only stays cold for a few minutes. The dealer stated it wasn't covered under warranty and wouldn't even look at it. I have had my front driver's side tire lose air and blow out the first time about 3 times now. I have had to replace the tire each time and have bought different manufacturers. The dealer stated it may have something to do with the car. My pwr windows and pwr door locks on the drivers side has had to be replaced a couple of times and still doesn't work. My pwr locks never work and occassionally my pwr windows will. As for the battery portion, the dealer stated it could be the battery combined with other things. My car will all of a sudden not start and I have to have it towed to a dealer. They will hook a computer up to it and seem to get confusing results. They have had to contact the hyundai corporation numerous times to solve the problem. It has occured several times though so it still hasn't been fixed.
